What to wear and bring in Harbin in August?

Early August

Harbin's August days are warm, but mornings and evenings can feel cool. Wear short sleeves and shorts for the daytime. Bring a light jacket or long-sleeve shirt for cooler times. A small umbrella helps with unexpected rain. Choose shoes that are comfy for walking.

Mid-August

Temperatures stay warm, but windy/rainy days might feel chilly. Short sleeves work most days – add a cardigan or light windbreaker when needed. Pack clothes that dry fast and a hat for the sun or light rain. Sunscreen is a must for the daytime.

Late August

By late August, the weather might start feeling like early fall. Days are milder, and nights get cooler. Pack a mix of clothes: long sleeves, a sweater, and a light coat. Layers are good so you can adjust. Bring a scarf or beanie if you're sensitive to cold. Comfortable walking shoes and a small bag for daily things are helpful.
